>Cadence gets up, her face covered in green goop
>You recognize it as blood
>Changeling blood
>Its not a lot, but enough to make you nauseous
>Anon helps her up and Cadence looks at you
>“Did she just EXPLODE?!”
>She looks around nervously, at you and the green on you, then at the hole, with has spinkles of blood on it
>“Please tell me that bukkake is how changelings say goodbye, and that she DIDN’T really  just explode!”
>You look at her, dropping the tail in the process and do the only reasonable thing you can
>You shrug
>She follows your body to the ground
>Yep
>That’s a tail stump
>Cadence screams and falls back into Anon
>Anon squeals and staggers back
“CHRYSALIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHATS GOING ON”
>On the other end you hear Chrysalis calling out another order to the hive
>Then silence
>>“Ling the changeling I had on watch was knocked out, I’m on my way”
“Where the hell are you!”
>>“Don’t yell at your mother! I’m below the castle”
“WHich one!”
>You’re pacing
>>“The old one. Which castle am I suppose to be under? The crystal wibbly wobbly abandoned tree?”
>She has a point
>>“Okay I’m heading their way”
>More silence
>Its deafening
>A few moments later, Chrysalis pops back in
>>“She’s alive!”
>You gasp
“She’s alive guys!”
>Anon gets a bright smile, as does Cadence
>“Oh thank celestia” Cadence says, falling back
>Into your Anons arms
>One of these days you’re going to slap a hoe
>>“It looks like the portal cut off her tail, her hoof at the ankle, and knocked her out. It cauterized the wound though so not a lot of blood loss”
“Clearly you havnt seen it here”
>You reply, a bit terrified still
>The three of you sit around the bloody tail on the ground
>Cadence wiping her face
>Anon squatting with an intent look of though
>You standing and staring
>In front of you lays a full changeling tail, from the base were there is bone, all the way to the tip  of the hair
>You saw it twitch, but it stopped and is now just leaking green blood to the ground
>Beside it is also a hoof, just the ankle downward
>It is not bleeding
>It smells like white glue
>On the other end of the portal, Chrysalis is with Shell, checking her over
>Her tail stump, or lack there of, and hoof, were cauterized immediately so she lost little blood
>Chrysalis, on the other hand of all this, is over joyed 
>We did it we did it! She repeats several times
>The hive is aglow with chatter by now
>You can’t even hear yourself think
>But the important question has been answered
>You can get back home
“S..should we bury it”
>Anon looks up at you
>“I think so”
>Cadence nods in agreement “yeah”
>Anon gets up and heads to the truck, getting an entrenching tool out and going over to the place where you three have gathered
>He doesn’t give very deep, maybe two feet, and drops the tail and hoof into the hole
>Covering up it fast and easy enough
>He folds the tool back up and puts it back in place, waving the two of you on
>You both follow and get in your respective places
>You’re becoming fond of the truck bed, it reminds you of flying with the swarm, all that air flying around
>With the rope firmly around you, and Cadence in the passenger seat, you shove your head through the window and grin at them
“Onward!” 
>You point your hoof at the road
>Anon throws the truck in gear and gets going!
>Cadence face hooves at your exaggerated expressions
>You don’t give a fuck
>we adventure now
>That being said
>Adventure is a broad term and you end up falling asleep, head in the cab, while Anon drives
>When you arrives at Memphis, Anon reaches back and looks at your sleeping form
>He smirks and boops your snoot
>You awaken with a gasp and glare at him
>Anon quickly looks away, putting on his most innocent face
>Crafty human
>you shake your head and get up
“yes?”
>“We’re here. I think. I need to poke around and look for somewhere he would have went to eat. I assume close to his venue”
>Anon shows you on his phone a venue name
“Has to be something with grease or steaks”
>You point out, going to touch the screen
>Your hoof scratches it
>Fug
>Anon glares at you then wipes his cellphone
>Looking at the screen you notice under the scratch is a bbq joint
“That’s it”
>Anon zooms in on the spot “Baby Jacks BBQ?”
“I can guarantee you he went there”
>“How can you know?”
>He looks at you confused
>You flash him a grin
“His breath smelled like bbq ribs. Plus thats closest to the place, but not a chain. He comes off as the kind of guy who prefers not to go to chain restaurants”
>“DO you even know what a chain is?” Anon asks turning to you
>You nod 
“We had plenty of them in equestria”
>“Well, it looks like its just down the road. I’ll park and we can walk it”
>Cadence lays her head back groaning softly “FINALLY I’m STAAAAAAAARVING”
>You roll your eyes and settle into the bed of the truck to wait till Anon parks
>He ends up driving out behind a school and parking in a dirt lot he finds
>The three of you hop out and start walking
>Its around 5pm by now, so that makes a good time for dinner
>The place itself is rather small, but you immediately see the pony
>From the angle you see him at, he is an orange pony, with a white stripe on his face
>He wears a female waiters outfit which firmly accentuates his curves
>Stallions should not have curves
>He also wears a pair of small, cute glasses
>He seems a bit on the jumpy side, and moves slow
>Anon seems to be thinking, more so than you
>he even pulls out his magic plastic square that allows bartering and calls a number on it
>All hail the plastic square
>“Okay Ling”
>Anon looks down at you
>You turn to him
>“Lets go get something to eat and I’ll try to tlak to the manager”
“Aren’t we going to try some daring escape?”
>Anon goes silent then shakes his head
>“No, not everything has to be an action movie”
“awwww”
>Before you get there you make sure you’re in your disguise of Fleur de Lis
>The three of you head for the restaurant and take your seats
>Luckily the orange pony with the white stripe is your server
>His name tag says “Tangerine”
>That’s… really girly and really dumb
>You just ignore it for now and order
>Ribs and salads for the three of you
>He’s completely silent the whole time and keeps his head down, only asking what he can get you
>You feel bad for him, but he doesn’t seem all that bad off, just a bit skinny
>This is your first time trying ribs, but your body has had too much meat, so you decide on a salad and testing Anons ribs
>When you take a bite of the ribs you realize something
>It was horrible, horrible mistake
>The pony serving you goes to pour you a glass of water and you quickly grab it from him
“AAA!”
>“Ling what’s wrong?”
>You grab the whole jug of water and proceed to pour it down your throat
>The orange pony stares
>Cadence stares
>The restaurant stares
>Anon face palms 
>“Ling..”
>You fan your tongue with your hoof, tears streaming down your face as you try to cool the fires of hell
>It isn’t working
>You grab the pony by the collar
“MILK MILK NOW”
>You nods and hurries, shuffling off to the inside of the place
>Anon looks at you concerned
>You start crying
“What have you done to me”
>Anon rubs your head
>You hiss at him
>The hissing only burns your tongue more
>“Ling. Those are hot ribs”
>FUCK
>You keep fanning yourself, promptly drinking Anons drink and Cadences, before your server finally returns with a small thing of a childrens meals milk
>You rip the plastic cap off and gulp it down
>Many humans are staring
>You couldn’t care less right now, you’re dieing
>No pony should ever consume such horrible things
>It takes a few minutes but the fire finally goes away
>Leaving the three of you to eat in relative peace
>You agree never to have these rub things again
>While the three of you eat however you do bring up something important
“Anon, I need something from you”
>“No”
“…I need herbs”
>Anon looks down at you 
>“What for?”
“Ca- Sea Breezes leg isn’t getting better at a fast enough rate. I’m having to change her bandages every day”
>Cadnece looks up at you, then back to her leg “Its true”
>“Okay” Anon nods “What do you need them for”
“Well, I told you why medics are sought after”
>He gets a look of thinking
>Then a look of realization
>“Oh… Oh okay, sure, what do you need”
>You list off a couple basic plants
>Aloe, sunflower oil, clove, yarrow, and Geranium
>Anon looks at you like you just told him to find a needle in a haystack
“Just.. Bring me to a plant store”
>He nods slowly and returns to eating
>When Anon finishes, the pony returns, looking even more tired than before
>Poor guy can’t keep up being the only waiter outside
>“Anything else I can get you?” he asks nervously, his voice slightly shakey
>Anon looks over “Yeah can you get your owner?”
>He stiffens up “O..owner? Oh sir what ever I can help you with please I’m sure I can handle it!”
>Anon shakes his head and waves dismissively at him “I’d really like to se your owner”
>He gulps but nods slowly, hanging his head down and walking to the back
>When he returns, a skinny, but pissed off looking back is dragging him by the lacy girly collar “What did he do this time?” He practically snarls
>You don’t like the feelings you get from this guy
>Anon grabs his wallet and turns to him
>“I want him”
>Cadence spits out her drink in surprise and starts coughing
>You expected as much so you go calm her
>Anon spins in his chair and grins
>The owner glares and takes a seat, making the pony get back to work\
>“You want him”
>“I want him”
>“how do I know you aren’t just a scammer. This isn’t the first bullshit offer I’ve had.”
>Anon smirks  “Well how much did you pay for him”
>The man thinks for a moment before writing a number on a napkin
>Anon takes it
>He visibly cringes, but then nods
>“I’ll give you a fair price”
>The man leans back “How much ”
>“10 grand”
>He grunts and shakes his head “I paid more than that”
>“Yeah and you havnt been feeding him. I’m going to have to work his ass off to get him back to health”
>Now its your turn to spit take in shock
>Covering Anons back in wet, cold water
>Anon spins around grabbing you by the horn
“ahh! S..sorry!”
>He gives you a glare and shakes your head
>“Be more careful pony”
>He doesn’t talk to you like that
>It makes you uncomfortable and a bit sad, even though his emotions are telling a different story
>It isn’t the first time, but it still stings
>You sink down into Cadence and go quiet
>Anon uses a napkin to pat himself dry and looks to the other human
>After some more talking between the two the owner goes to get some paperwork
>Anon turns to you and pats your head, whispering “sorry, I didn’t hurt you did I?”
>You look down and shake your head 
“No”
>Anon turns back to wait for the man
>When he does return he has some paperwork and has someone with him
>The woman is tall, skinny, and nerdy looking as hell
>Even by your standards, and you’ve met Twilight sparkle
>He explains that it’s a notary for the paperwork and check
>Seems this man must deal in ponies a lot
>Anon gets to work, signing the papers and doing all that boring stuff
>Before long the stallion is stripped of his girly servers outfit
>Oh god he even had panties on under the skirt
>And is given to Anon
>Anon stands and grabs your and Cadences leash
>“Come on”
>he tugs and the three of you are on your way, pony in tow
>That went… much quicker than expected
>When you’re out of site, you turn to the stallion
“Whats your name”
>He mumbles and looks down
>you sigh
>great
“Its okay, Anon is nice. “
>He looks up to you, then Anon hopefully
>Then look sat Cadence
>He does a double take, but then goes back to looking at the ground
>“I..I’m uh.. S..sunburst”
>You look to Cadence, as she’s the one who deals in pony affairs
>She shrugs
>Great, no one knows him, that’s not helping anything
“Well, Uh, Sunburst. I’m Ling, this is Sea Breeze”
>You look around
>Still too many humans around to say her name out loud
“Its nice to meet you”
>Cadence offers a hoof shake
>He doesn’t seem to notice and keeps walking
>You scratch your head then sigh unsure what to say exactly in this situation
>Things are so much easier when you can read each others thoughts
>Cadence switches places with you and moves other to him, wrapping a hoof around him with a smile
>“You’re safe here. You don’t have to keep your head down”
>He smiles some, but doesn’t look up
>Good enough for now
>While you return to the truck, you sneak a peek at Anons wrist watch
>7:30pm
>You really haven’t been gone that long, but its been enough time that maybe Shell has awoken
>You focus on the hive and go into the hive mind to chat
“Um… is anyone there?”
>>“yes Ling? Its midnight here, most of us are asleep”
>Shit
>>“What do you need?”
“Hows shell doing?”
>>“She’s awake, but in pain. The nerves on her tail are completely gone, her hoof however..”
>You wince, that can’t be good
>>“I cut her off from the hive mind for now so she wouldn’t be bothered”
“Oh, uh, how? I thought only you could do that”
>There is a mental sigh
>>“Its not that hard, the hive is completely magic based. I thought you knew this”
>…right
“Will she be able to reconnect any time soon”
>>“She will tomorrow, I have a medic watching her tonight. She’ll be fine, but.. I don’t know what we can do for her hoof. I’ll have some of our scientists work on an artificial hoof.. But.. She’ll need a new job rather than soldier. Assuming we can figure out a way to make her not be in pain”
>You can understand that
>She would probably make a good nurse, maybe
“Thanks mom. “
>>“Not at all my dear. Now I’m going to sleep”
>Everything goes silent
>You focus back on walking, and listening in on Cadence and Sunburst
>it’s a very one sided conversation, with Sunburst mostly just nodding and sighing some
>You can’t help but feel for the poor guy, he wants to speak up, maybe even go back to however he was before
>But, alas, he is stuck to mumbles and quiet whimpers for now
>You all reach the RV, and you can tell he looks surprised
>Anon rubs his head and smiles, opening the door and letting the three of you up the stairs firsts
>That bastard got your head rubs
>You hate him
>Sitting in the RV, Anon is in his bed
>Cadence is sleeping  under you in her bunk
>And you
>Well you’re chillen in your bunk above her, but decided not to loose your form for fear of scaring Sunburst
>You’re still a bit salty about loosing your double decker bed to Cadence
>But that’s okay, because you’re working on making this top bunk even better than hers
>However all is not well in you’re little RV
>Cadence may be sleeping well and snoring
>But you and Anon are exchanging occasional glances at each other
>Laying in the floor, with blankets as a bed and covering, Sunburst is upset
>Nopony can hide their emotions from a changeling
>NO
>PONY
>All you can taste is confusion, sadness, and general discontent from him as he rolls around in his little makeshift bed
>Anon probably can’t feel it, but he can hear it
>Finally he sits up and looks at Sunburst
>Who promptly whimpers and sinks into the covered
>You shoot a glare at Anon
>He sighs and gets up
>He’s in his underwear
>Wew lad
>Did it just get hotter in here
>You hop down from the bunk with a soft thump and go over to Sunburst
>He flinches away from both you and Anon, but Anon picks him up slowly
>The two of you go outside the RV so as to not wake Cadence and anon sits on the steps once he closes the door
>You sit beside Sunburst who is shivering and clearly afraid 
>You look to Anon, who shrugs
>Carefully you wrap your foreleg around Sunburst 
“Hey, Its okay, you’re safe with us ya know”
>He doesn’t respond
>Anon leans down to his height
>“She’s telling the trust. My names Anon”
>He puts out his hand
>Sunburst stares at it for a moment before gulping and slowly shaking 
>Anon smiles
>“Whats your name. I know its not Tangerine”
>He gulps before speaking up in a weak manner “U..Uh Sun burst s-sir”
>You hug him to your side softly
“See? That wasn’t so bad. Sunburst is a nice name afterall”
>Anon nods in agreement
>“Well, Sunburst, I’m glad I found you, because I have some really good news”
>You can taste a slight bit of hope
>Its quickly pushed down
>You motion Anon to continue
>“That pony, inside, Sea Breeze. That’s princess Cadence”
>His demeanor shifts and his eyes go wide
>Partly in horror, thinking he’s now owned by someone who can control a princess
>But also in amazement, and hope, due to the gentle coaxing and demeanor 
>it’s a start
>You gently pat his back and smile
“He saved her. She’s helping us get back home”
>“H..home?” He looks at you hopefully
>You nod 
“We figured out how to get ponies home. We found a portal Sunburst”
>He takes a deep breath
>“Impossible”
>You sigh, this isn’t as easy as you had hoped
>Anon stands up heading inside
>You look curiously to see what he’s doing
>Annoyingly enough you can’t figure out his emotions
>Till he comes back with a jar of cherries in some kind of liquid
>Anon gets a glass and smiles leaning down to Sunburst
>“Alright buddy. Tell ya what. We’ll talk about this in the morning, till then, how about you try to sleep? I got some stuff here to help”
>He looks at it curiously, then back up to Anon, then you
>You smile and motion him forward while anon pours the glass
>Sunburst shakes his head “N..no Thank you. Human medicine isn’t good”
>You walk over taking some of the cherries out and smiling at Sunburst as you eat them
>Yep
>That’s moonshine
>Yummy, cherry
>You take the half full jar and drink some of it, showing Sunburst its okay
>He looks at you suspiciously, then to Anon before slowly taking the glass in his hooves
“You gotta drink it fast”
>He nods and tilts the cup, chugging it down fast
>You drink some more and give it back to Anon, who follows up with his own gulp and a few cherries
>Sunburst drinks the whole thing in a matter of seconds
>…holy shit
>Anon gives him a cherry, which he promptly eats
>You walk over giving him a nice hug
>Anon returns inside to lay down
>Unsurprisingly, with that much alcohol in ones system, it doesn’t talke long before he is yawning
>You carefully walk him back inside the RV and lay him down
>Sunburst grabs you and rolls onto his back
>He looks up at you giggling some
>“thanks pretty pony”
>And proceeds to pass out
>wat

>When morning eventually rolls around, sunburst is groaning and laying on his back
>Anon is making eggs and bacon
>Cadence is being a fucking bitch
>I mean sleeping
>And you 
>You’re outside on the roof in the morning air
>Comfiest Ling
>After a bit of rest Anon calls your name and you look down into the window
>Anon holds out a bacon strip through the window
>NOM
>The crispy goodness is devoured within a few bites
“So whats the plan Anon!” 
>You grin and hop down from the roof
>Mid air you transform and stick the landing as a changeling, using your wings to ease your hit
>Anon holds the window open for you to climb through
>“Well I was thinking to head over to the nursery for you”
>You nod and walk over to sunburst, who groans and looks at you
>Upon seeing you he gasps and cringes back, digging into his covers
>Oh shit you forgot
>he doesn’t know who you are REALLY
“WHoa, whoa its me, Ling”
>Sunburst looks at you, then at Anon, who nods
>He slowly comes out of the covers and looks you over
>You see a spark in his eyes
>If he was a scholarly pony back in the day, then its coming back, because he starts examining you and looking through your leg holes
>“W..wow” He mumbles to himself “you’re REALLY a changeling..that’s..so neat”
>You stand proudly and puff your chest out
>He smiles some and sits up
>Anon looks to you
>“wanna go check out that plant nursery now?”
>You nod and look around for  your list
>Luckily you managed to write it out
>Passing the note to Anon he stuffs it in his pocket
>“lets go. Cadence, Sunburst, you two wanna come?”
>They look to each other, then Sunburst nods some
>Cadence shakes her head, covering it with her pillow
>Anon gets cleaned up and ready, while you and Sunburst also ready yourselves and head outside
>Anon hops in the truck, letting you unhook it from the RV, and the two of you set off a couple miles down the road
“So, I need all the plants on the list, and maybe some jars, if I’m to make the salve”
>‘What is it?”
“Well, I guess its sort of like honey. I guess, I use the whole plant and then separate what I don’t need out, what I do need, I keep and it all gets worked into a salve”
>Sunburst looks over “How?”
“….You’ll see”
>Anon cringes thinking about how honey is made, and you doing that
>Sunburst is completely ignorant to it
>Anon looks up some nurseries on his phone, pointing out a few, but you just decide to go to the closest one you see
>Luckily its only a few miles to the biggest of the close ones, and Anon is nice enough to drive you to it
>When you arrive, you find It open but barely staffed, just one bored person at a register
>the plants not in the self contained green houses clearly havnt been watered yet
>This angers you
>But best to ignore it, as fighting a human would end up bad in this situation
>Anon looks at the list and heads off
>“Okay Ling, you and sunburst gather stuff, and I’ll do the same”
>You nod and walk with Sunburst, who stares at all the plants, examining each one as you pass it
>It slows you down a lot, but you don’t say anything
>Sunburst picks up a small decorative berry plant with some flowers
>“Its pretty” he says looking it over “I’ve never seen anything like this before”
>You look at it and pluck a flower, popping it into your mouth
>Bitter
>You also taste nothing of value in it
>So you spit it out and gag some
>Sunburst looks at you
“What?”
>“N..nothing”
>You shrug and start tasting flowers, making sure the person at the counter isn’t watching
>Thank you humans for distractive cellphones
>Anon comes over pushing a cart with some bushes on it
>“Alright Ling, I got the Clove tree, but its not ready to harvest since its only a few feet tall, Yarrow bush, and I found a small geranium plant”
>You look it over
“The Geranium is too small, is there a second?”
>“Well yeah but it’s a bit expensive..”
>You eye anon and pour your lip whimpering as cute as you can
>Anon sighs and goes to get another
>You examine the clove
>The leaves and stems are useful, but only slightly, the actual bud is what you need the most
>You take the plant and go back to Anon
“Instead lets just pick up some dried clove and clove oil”
>He groans but puts the plant back, putting a second geranium plant on your back
>You look around and realize something
>Theres no aloe
>While Anon is distracted you march up to the man at the counter inside the little shack
“EXCUSE ME”
>You huff
>He looks down at you then drops his phone, scooting back “WHAT THE FUCK”
“EXCUSE ME SIR BUT WHAT KIND OF NURSERY DOESN’T SELL ALOE”
>“WHoa whoa little big thing”
>You puff up your cheeks glaring
“I AM NOT  A BUG”
>“Pony thing. We just don’t have any okay”
>You glare
>He shakes some, slowly reaching for his phone
>You stamp your hoof
“I DEMAND AN EXPLAINATI-”
>You’re cut off as your neck is yanked
>You gag and flail your hooves being lifted into the air
>Anon is behind you, sunburst in tow
>“Hehe, sorry about that, she’s a bit of trouble”
>The man gulps and nods slowly
>Anon pushes the cart forward
>“I’ll just uh, take these and be on my way. Is there a naturalist store around here?”
>The man nods slowly, ringing up the stuff shakily “Yeah, uh, four miles up the road, near the school”
>You flail and gag as Anon drags you to the truck 
>‘thank you!”
>He waves and pays for the plants as he walks off
>Sunburst quietly tugging the cart as he follows
>Anon doesn’t say a word as he loads up the plants
>When he arrives at the natural store he walks in, and comes back out with the stuff you needed, Sunflower oil, clove leaf oil, dry cloves, and a fresh, if not a bit small, aloe plant
>Along the way he looks over to you “You know what I’m mad”
>You look down and shuffle your hooves
“yeah..”
>“Then you know why I’m not talking”
>You nod
>he nods to you and turns his attention to the road
>You sigh quietly and lean on the dash board
>His next stop is a dollar store for the mason jars
>When all is said and done the three of you reach the RV again
>Inside Cadence is still sleeping
>You stay outside to get to work on your plants
>You notice the price tags
>the geranium plants together were $12, the Aloe was $10, and the Yarrow was $20
>You fish throught he bag with the oils and dried cloves in it and find a receipt
>he spent $30 on all those
>He isn’t going to be happy about what you do next
>You open the clove oil and chug it down
>It makes your mouth numb and tastes good, so that will make the rest of this easy
>Next you eat all the dried cloves and lick the container, putting it to the side with the empty oil bottle, then drink some sunflower oil
>Eyeing the yarrow next you take bites of the flowers, leaves and stems
>it’s a larger plant, but that’s good, you chew each bit up as much as you can before swallowing
>by the time you finish eating everything but the harder sections and roots you burp
>You feel a bit bloated
>Alas, you must finish
>The geranium is next and it isn’t as hard since it’s a much smaller plant
>by the time you finish those you’re out of sunflower oil
>The aloe is last
>You take a bite
>Its nice and juicy. Perfect!
>By the time you’re done you roll onto your back
>The green bands around your stomach area are, to say the least, stretched
>You’re all bloated
“ughhhhh”
>You lay in the bed of the truck to relax and look at the plants
>they’re definitely dead. 
>Anon isn’t going to be happy but now you should have enough medicine to last
>Counting up the jars reveals you may have miscounted
>Theres going to be a ton from this
>>“Ling, are you okay?”
>You groan out and respond to Chrysalis, though a tad slow
“I’m great”
>>“….You ate way too much”
“I know”
>>“You going to be sick?”
“No, it all went into the other stomach”
>>“Good. At least you know what you’re doing”
“…I forgot how long it takes to make the salve”
>Chrysalis groans
>>“One hour”
“Right, right. I knew that”
>You burp
>ugh
>Anon comes out to check on you a while later
>He stares at the plant massacre before him
>“Ling. What have you done.”
>He looks down at the bloated, fat, changeling in front of him
>“Nope. Not dealing with this. Nope”
>He turns 360 degrees and walks away
>you laugh to yourself
>He hasn’t even seen how you have to get it out
>When the hour is up you stand up and take the first jar
>You call for Anon
>He pokes his head out the door
>“WHAT”
“I NEED A FUNNEL”
>Seconds later Anon throws one at you
>It lands on your horn
>Bastard
>Putting it in the jar you position yourself
>Ass up head down
>A familiar flexing in your second stomach, now less bloated, makes you gag
>Your throat flexes and you gag again
>You hold your head up
“URK… URK.. BLLLEGH”
>You gag more and the warm, somewhat thick liquid, starts to flow 
>Its not a huge flow
>but its enough to start filling the jar consistently
>You close your mouth once one jar is filled and move to the next
>And do it all again
>Gagging noises intensifies
>three jars later you happen to look up
>You’re about half way through by now
>Anon, Cadence, and Sunburst are all in the window, staring and watching you from a distance
>Looks of horror, amazement, and disgust adorn their faces
>All is going well, clearly
>You arch your back and burp
>There is a splatter that gets all over Anons truck
>He gags and grabs his mouth running outside
>Within several minutes the deed is done
>You swallow, any backwash going into your actual stomach
>Tasty 
>You carry the jars inside and smile up at Cadence
“here you go! Healing honey for your leg! Its home made!”
>She stares down at it
>The runs outside to join Anon
>Sunburst just stares in awe
>All is well
>As the great medic that you are, you are all too happy to cap the various jars and put them in cool dark places
>Mostly under your bed
>You take one jar and walk over to Cadence, who is brushing her teeth with Anon
“Alright we’re ready to put it on your wound”
>You hold up the jar
>"THAT?"
"MHM!"
>You nod, proud as punch.
>It's always good, doing what you were meant to do.
>"You want to put THAT on my leg?"
"Yep!"
>"The stuff you just vomited out into a JAR?"
"I used a funnel!"
>>"I don't think that's what she has a problem with."
"But... I used a funnel..."
>"That's... ahem... not the issue..."
>"Candace, stop being polite," Anon growls. "Ling, you're gross. Stop being gross."
"I'm... gross...?"
>>"No, Ling, they just don't understand. It's a perfectly natural bodily function."
"I'm not gross!"
>"You... just look! You made a mess of my truck!"
"I'm not gross! I used a funnel!"
>There is a collective sigh from the residents of the RV
>You just don’t understand
>You bet the humans did this
>Damn social stigmas
>Walking over to the med kit, you get out the gauze for today and bring it over to Cadence
>She cringes, but you aint having that shit
>You snort hard
>And spit
>A goopy green mess splatters on Cadences leg
>She tugs at it with a scream
>Must be flashbacks
>Anon face palms and walks out, unable to handle your magnificence 
>You, however, have work to do, and get to it
>The first thing you do is remove the old bandages
>And then proceed to carefully work the weird honey goop into the wound, both around it in the inflamed area, and into and under the stitches a little
>It is easy and takes little work, especially with your magic and even though she is cringing like a little bitch, she is held in place pretty firm
“So where to next Anon?”
>Turning back Anon is watching as you liberally apply the honey, then rebandage Cadences thigh
>“Well, I was thinking of heading out towards maybe Colorado or Nevada, I love BLM land and the mountains”
“….where”
>“Uh, just trust me on this”
“Okaaaay, so what for today”
>“WE DRIVE”
>Anon puts a toothpick in his mouth
>And puts on a jacket
>Its like, 80 outside, for what purpose
>You ignore it and release Cadence from the goopy trap, sweeping the rest out the door
>Sunburst seems deeply concerned as he examines the stuff laying on the ground
>You let him and Cadence rest in the RV while you help Anon hook it back up, then hop in the cab with him
“So, just west”
>“Just west”
>You grab his compass and the map looking it over
>Closing your eyes you put your horn on a random spot of the map
>It lands in some place near the south eastern section of Utah, leaving a small hole in the ground
>“There it is”
>Anon pokes the pin hole in the map and starts the truck
>Not before you hear a wrapper and munching
>….Anon is eating your york patty stash
>You smack him in the back of the head and grunt angrily
>He gives you a shit eating grin, chocolate in his teeth
“You’re a bastard”
>“I know, but fuck you I’m the master”
“Watch it human”
>“I’ll watch your butt”
>You look away blushing
>B..bastard
>After the use of a highlighter and some scotch tape the route is corrected
>Anon used his phone to double check the map
>You THOUGHT you landed in some bumfuck nowhere town in Utah called Mesa, but after repairing the map you find that actually it’s a random spot off a small road
>Welp, time to camp
>Its also a 20 hour drive, so that means lots of refuels and lots of stops to rest
>But anon says he’s going to try to go straight through
>You have doubts
>Especially since theirs ponies and changelings to be picked up
>Sunburst and Cadence in the RV, you in the Cab alone with Anon
>You havnt done it in a while, however with a goal in mind, and Anon paying attention to the road
>Its more boring than you expected
>It doesn’t take long for you to pass out in the passenger seat, head leaning out the window
>dat warm afternoon air
>You feel a hand on your head just as your eyes get heavy
>It doesn’t help the situation at all
>Is he petting you?
>…
>You yawn and soon enough can’t hold your head up, falling to sleep
>You loose track of time, but when you wake up, you see a rather odd sign
“North.. Canadian river? Anon did you drive all the way to Canada? Isn’t that north?”
>“No I shouldn’t have, we’re heading west”
>He points to the map
>“We passed a sign saying we’re nearing Oklahoma city”
“where?”
>He bites his lip
>“Uh, just one of the main cities in the US. Its not easy to explain where we are to someone who doesn’t know anything about the US. We’re near that dot there”
>He points in the middle of a rectangular shape with a tail, and low and behold, there is Oklahoma city right there
>Oh
>You’re almost half way there
>Looking out the window confirms your suspicions but also makes you very uncomfortable
>The land is so
>Flat
>Like your queens butt
>>“LING I WILL END YOU”
>There is a piercing poking at your head, like a hot knife
>You disserved that
>Worth it
“Why’d you wake me up here though? I mean…theres nothing here”
>“I didn’t wake you”
>Anon gives you a glare
>You smile at him
>looking to your right you see a Casino
>holy shit this place has nothing
“We need to leave”
>“Why?”
“Because I can’t think of a single thing to do here”
>Anon deadpans as he turns to face you
>You have an expression showing how few fucks you give
>“Theres cheese and beef”
“…That’s nice Anon”
>You roll your eyes and return to the distance
>Its pretty
>Ish
>But you like the mountains back east so much more
>Though the map says theirs mountains out west, so maybe you’ll find something cool out that way
>After even MORE time driving you look and see a slide passing by
>There is a ping in your brain as Chrysalis gathers your attention
“Yes mother?”
>Anon gives you a curious glance
>You shrug
>>“Ling, Is that the uh.. White Water place?”
“Yes, it is. I saw a sign a few miles back”
>>“Perfect, You have another changeling to find”
>You gasp out
“ANOTHER?”
>Anon gasps in surprise and grabs the wheel hard
>You feel the truck and trailer jerk
“Where?”
>>“Near by. She’s working at the days in as a maid”
“Anon we need to stop”
>Anon looks over at you, you’re getting close to the days in, as you can see the sign
>“Wheres that?”
“At the inn over there”
>You point as the passing sign
>Anon nods to you and flashes his blinker, cutting across a lane and going off the ramp as soon as he can
>You grip the dash for dear life
>You swear you hear a scream from the trailer
“How do you know that’s her location my queen?”
>>“She hasn’t been taking her suppressants. It makes it easier for her to make the beds. Shouldn’t be too hard to pick her up and run without anyone noticing. “
“Hopefully”
>Anon pulls into the Inn and looks over to you
>You chuckle
“Maybe we should stop by, its been a while since we had a proper bath”
>“Agreed”
>Anon smiles back, grabbing you under his arm
>Oh god
>He didn’t put on deodorant
>This is really turning you on
>>“Ling stop, you’re on a mission”
>HE SMELLS SO MANLY
>Anon releases you, thankfully, and goes inside to check in
>While you on the other hoof, head to the trailer to check on everyone
>The first thing you see upon opening the door however is a broken glass
>And blood
>Shit
>Cadences runs out, almost knocking you over, grabbing her head
>Theres blood on her hooves
>You hurry over, but Sunburst follows behind
>He has blood flowing from his forehead
>What in the name of Chrysalis did you just miss
>Sunburst runs over
>“LING I NEED HONEY”
“u wot mate”
>“I SMACKED MY HEAD ON THE CABINET WHEN WE TURNED ON I BROKE THE GLASS AND THERES BLOOD I’M SORRY”
>…You shake your head and go inside to investigate
>other than the bloody hoof prints and the shattered glass there isn’t much to see
>You get a jar of the honey and pass it to sunburst, who promptly, and without cleaning the wound, smears it into his head
>It stops the bleeding nearly instantly
>but you cringe at the improper medical care
>Returning the jar to its rightful place you let cadence clean her hooves and you pick up the glass
>Sunburst sits in the bed of the truck to keep from making himself bleed any further
>He should relaly clean up his own shit
>Or next time use a funnel to keep his blood in one place
>Anon returns and waves a keycard
>“Alright, we’re in. What do you want to do?”
“I guess in the morning when the maids come around, we look for my sister?”
>Anon locks the truck and gives you the second keycard
>“That’ll work.”
>You carry the card, as well as your own little bag of cloths and cadences hair coloring with you to your room
>Anon follows with his own change of cloths
>When you get to the room each of you take turns in the shower, Anon first, you second, Cadence, then sunburst
>When Anon steps out
>You hate to admit it, but he’s looking good
>Makes you wanna jum-
>>“LING”
>You’re not sorry at all
>You get out of the shower next, and put on yoru own shirt and panties
>Anon seems to, at first, cringe at you wearing the panties
>But you don’t care you owned them before, this shits comfy as fuck
>Cadences return from the shower just shows you desperately need to reapply her hair coloring
>Sunburst
>Eh whatever
>He’s kinda cute though
>You lay in bed, with Anon
>Cadence and sunburst get the other bed
>Anon, however, decides to raid the mini bar before he lays down
>There isn’t anything in there impressive, cheap beer and snacks
>But its nice to have, as you eagerly eat away at a bag of cheetos
>Human snacks are pretty good
>Love wise, you haven’t eaten a lot, and are mostly sustained by the food
>However, it is obvious that in this place
>Love Is bound to be freely floating around
>You just need to wait for nightfall
>The four of you set up in the hotel and all get washed pretty easily, luckily without incident
>Your ear hole seems permanent, and replacing your bandage shows it to have closed out
>might as well leave it uncovered
>Cadences wound is healing a lot faster now and has noticeably gotten better
>When you all get to bed
>Well, you have trouble sleeping
>As does sunburst
>You roll over in the bed, seeing Sunburst clenching the pillow
“You okay?”
>He turns to you and sighs some looking away
>You grunt and lean forward
“Sunburst, I know you have trouble sleeping”
>He nods softly
>You sigh and get up out of the bed, going over beside him and patting his head
>He flinches at first but then smiles
>The two of you relax beside each other, watching the Tv with no sound
>Humans really like violence
>And zombies
>Its rather disturbing really
>Human news isn’t much better
>I mean, who ELECTS presidents. A ruler matriarch in charge of the sun or a queen of all beings makes much more sense
>Humans are silly
>Eventually however, you find yourself yawning a stand up
>You feel a familiar feeling in your loins
>Well, not yours
>it’s a taste of love
>You look back
“SUnburst”
>The pony jerks his head up
>“Huh?!”
>You point at him
“Whats that I taste?”
>“What do you mean?”
“Lust. “
>Sunbursts eyes go wide then he blushes brightly
>“Uh must be some of the other people here!”
>You roll your eyes
“Sunburst plz. I can tell the source, and most all the sources of love and lust have passed out.”
>He audibly gulps and crawls back into the bed with Cadence
>You walk over and poke his side
“It isn’t me. Who is it”
>“No one, lets just go to bed”
>You smirk as you playfully jab his side  one more time
>Turning around however shows what sunburst was acting up about
>Anon is laying, mostly covered, with his chest exposed
>And a large tent erect
>….large is an over statement . Your toy is way  bigger
“No way”
>You turn to Sunburst and grin
>He looks away 
“you’re into that?”
>“M..maybe”
“You totally are”
>You and sunburst share a long, understanding stare
>He gulps
>“Don’t tell him”
“Oh I won’t”
>You smirk internally
>Chrysalis seems to have been listening, as she has to put in her two cents
>>“Ling”
“Yes my queen?”
>>“I’m curious about something.. You think you can convince Sunburst to help out?”
“Maybe, hey sunburst”
>The orange stallion clops his hooves together looking down
>“Yes Ling?”
“Queen Chrysalis wants to know something”
>“T..the QUEEN?”
>Sunburst stares at you in shock
>You give him a shit eating grin
>>“I’m curious if human erections work the same as a stallion”
“That’s disgusting”
>>“Its for science”
>You repeat her words to Sunburst
>He gulps and looks at Anon
>…And then stands up and walks over to him
>No way
>Is he really goin-
>Sunburst gets over Anons sleeping body
>He’s a hungry boy
>You stare in shock
>You can practically hear Chrysalis’ jaw hitting the floor
>That was shockingly easy
>Conveniently and disturbingly slow
 “Sunburst I wasn’t really going to..”
>Slurping intensifies
>You nope right off to the bathroom
>>“Hold on Ling I wanna see if he swall-
“Nope, I’m done here. I’m going to the toilet. Nope nope”
>>"He's a faggot, Ling."
“OKAY MOM GOODNIGHT”
>>“Goodnight Ling”
>You groan as you wait out the awkwardness of a stallion sucking on YOUR Anons dick
>Though the urge to join is tempting
>…naw
>Not yet
>You suddenly here a yell
>“LING I SWEAR TO GOD”
>Shit
>You poke your head out of the door
>Sunburst is in bed
>Sleeping
>Anon is standing in his underwear
>WEW LAD ITS REAL WARM IN THIS ROOM
>“LING WHAT THE FUCK”
“What? I’ve been in the bathroom”
>He hurries past you washing his hands
>“Ya know if you’re going to be a cock sucker at least ask permission”
“Wh..I didn’t..what the shit it was Sunburst”
>“Don’t try pushing that on him Ling, he’s been through a lot, but he isn’t gay”
>U wot m8
>You glare at Sunburst
>He licks his lips
>That sneaky bastard
>“I’m sleeping in the RV tonight. Be up for the maid. Good night”
“Night master”
>He groans as he slams the door behind him, going outside with the keys in just his underwear
>..He totally liked it
>You decide to go to bed anyway
>Well at least you have the whole bed to yourself
>Morning rolls around quicker than you’d like to admit
>Cadence is already awake, doing her hair
>Thankfully she’s pretty much got the dye down
>You stretch and groan
>Anon is at the foot of the bed getting dressed
>Sunburst is still asleep
>Happy little cocksucker
>You get up and Anon and yourself give an awkward glance
>“Not a word”
“Agreed”
>You swagger on next to Cadence and wash your face for the morning
>Cadence glances at you with a smirk
>You give her a ‘friendly’ slap on the back making her yelp
>You grin right back and go wake up Sunburst
>By shaking him
>He wakes with a gasp and flails his hooves
>You smile down at him
>Sunburst gives you a shy, coy grin before slinking off to the bathroom
>You and Cadence wait by the door, Anon and Sunburst follow behind soon
>Making sure the room is cleared out you all head out to the breakfast buffet
>No Maids yet
>Soon though
>Breakfast is as expected, a simple buffet with lots of difference choices
>You get Sausage, eggs, a small bowl of cereal, and a couple pancakes
>Anon gets the same, as well as two cups of coffee
>Cadence gets a stack of pancakes and a couple biscuits
>Sunburst gets a big bowl of fruity cereal
>it actually looks good and colorful, more like equestrian food
>The four of you eat in peace, its morning, fuck mornings, everyones sleepy
>You head up to the room to wait for the maids rounds while everyone else gets ready to go and has seconds
>Sitting alone in the room you enjoy the love of some near by moaning
>Its kinda shitty and bitter
>But its enough to fill you for at least a day
>You wait watching the TV for any sign of Chrysalis telling you what to do
>Nothing comes in
>Well a confused maid does
>Just a human who sees you
>She stares for a moment
>You stare back
>She then slowly backs out
>You roll your eyes and follow her out, you see her moving to the next room
>Down the hall you see another maids trolly
>Going over to it confirms your suspicion
>A little emblem of a number is on it
>Upon poking your head inside you see a changeling, in pony form
>She looks rather nice really, a unicorn, White with diamonds on her butt, purple curled hair
>Rarity, if you remember correctly
 >You rush inside, grabbing her
“We need to go”
>The ling looks at you, then her work for only a moment before hugging you tight
“Oh thank goodness sis. Lets go!”
>She folds the blanket then uses magic to pull the cart into the room, closing the door behind her as she follows you
>The two of you casually walk together, slow, but deliberate, towards the door
>As soon as you reach the door you both run for the RV full speed
>Anon, Cadence, and Sunburst already there and ready to go
>You see, behind you, an angry maid walking your direction
>Since she isn’t running the best you can assume is that she didn’t see yoru sister being loaded up
>Not wanting to deal with her shit you slam the door in front of her
>She falls back with a loud oof
>You smirk proudly
>Anon chuckles
>Cadence giggles 
>The truck chortles
>Wait that’s just the rust
>Anon casually pulls out and looks around 
>“Lets hurry”
“Yes, lets”
>You all get on the highway, and you have to slam the door, locking it while Anon drives
>Luckily not at break neck speeds like your rescue for Cadence
>Looking behind you, the maid has already claimed your bed, reverting from Rarity back to her changeling form
>“Wow Ling! You got a nice place here!”
>You eye your sister suspiciously
>She grins at you brightly
>…She’s gotta get to equestria soon, she’s gonna drive you nuts
“yes…and..my bed”
>“This?” She motions to the bed shes on
>You nod
>“NICE!”
“..Can I have my bed back”
>“Nope”
>She gives you a sickeningly sweet grin and lays back
>Almost immediately going to sleep
>You face palm and shake your head
>Now you remember which sister this is
>Cocky bitch
“So have you thought of a name 1337?”
>“A name?”
>The changeling, who is one of your sisters, looks down at you curiously
>from YOUR bunk
“well, yeah, a name, I go by Ling here”
>“A changeling named ling”
>She looks at you for a moment before getting a grin
>“I see”
>Oh shit nigga
>“Then I will be called Chang”
>JUST
“You cant name yourself that”
>she head tilts trying to be cute
>It doesn’t work
>“Why not”
“Chang Ling? Really”
>“yeah”
>She grins
>You groan and shake your head, taking Cadences bed for now
>While you try to lay down to wait out the ling drive
>Chang as she calls herself now just wont shut up
>You put a pillow over your head but it does little to hold her back as she tells you EVERYTHING that’s happened to her since the war
>every
>fucking
>THING
>When you get a break from the talking, you grab the walkie talkie
“Anon whats the next stop”
>Static
>“We’re heading out to texas, I wanna try something”
“What something?”
>“Steak”
>You go silent
“Steak…the thing you can get anywhere,  you’re going to texas for it?”
>Anon chuckles loudly
>“Not just any steak. A 72 ounce”
>dudewat
“Explain”
>“You’ll see it when we get there”
>The talkie goes back to static and you put it back on the charging port
>Weird
>When Chang returns to YOUR bed, she goes back to talking
>Luckily,  she hasn’t been abused
>But she was sold, a lot
>No surprise really
>You are reminded of the one time she walked in while Chrysalis was in an important meeting, walked right by everyone, made herself a sandwich with the party food, and walked right back out
>10 days in the mines didn’t help her gain any sense either
>Weird changeling
>It only takes 4 hours to drive to Anons goal
>But it feels like 3 days due to Changs constant chatting
>“And THAT’S how I managed to be a maid while disguised as a slutty unicorn. Oh and then when you and-”
>Anon swings open the door
>“WE’RE HERE”
>Oh thank Chrysalis
>>“……...Finally”
>Stepping out, you see Cadence visibly cringing, and Starburst staring at the sign
>FREE 72OZ STEAK
>Anon rubs his hands together menacingly
>You notice Chang grinning in the corner of your eye
“Been a while since you’ve had any protien”
>“Well technically back whe-”
“No”
>You turn to face her
“Stop there. I don’t want to hear about your escapades with human anatomy”
>It stops nothing, as Chang starts explaining one of her previous owners
>You use your magic to clamp her mouth shut
>Not today bitch
>Chang and yourself change to ponies, Rarity and Fleur De Lis respectively 
>You all enter, getting, as expected, strange looks from some humans who were not exactly fond of ponies in their restaurant
>However Anon saying he’s going for the challenge , the mood changes, and the waitress brings him to one of the ‘challenge tables’
>Just normal tables with counters on them
>All of you get drinks, yourself and Cadence getting ciders, Anon a honey blonde lager, and sunburst and chang soda
>Chang on soda
>Not exactly preferred 
>The beers are brought, and an announcement is made
>The eyes following to Anon with the huge steak in front of him
>And 4 ponies
>its uncomfortable
>ITS SO BIG
>Such a big, juicy…meaty..
>You shake the haze from your head, eyes wide, staring downward
>Then take a deep breath and lean in, taking a deep breath
>Smells delicious
>Anon smacks your horn
>DAMN
>the waiter gives you a kind smile
>Onlookers did not
>A soft green glow is in your eyes, which you see reflected on Anons knife
>Oh
>You sit back in the eat and Anon starts cutting the steak into small bite sized bits
>The timer hasn’t started and the small instruction leaflet explains he can do pretty much anything but eat it, but as soon as he takes a bite, it starts
>Its taking a painfully look time
>Yourself and Chang practically drools
>Damn humans and their obsession with meat turning your into carnivores
>Cadence and Sunburst seem disgusted but intrigued, Sunburst seeming to be gauging Anons stomach, doing some mental calculations, and figuring up something
>You suspect he doesn’t think Anon can do it
>You hope he doesn’t, the steak is medium rare and looks delicious
>And he didn’t even get you any
>With a loud, angered, sigh you lean back in your chair to watch
>Look look at whats on his place
>Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, with Roll, Butter, and of course the 72 oz. Steak
>Anon looks at the clock
>Stabs his meat
>And begin!
>You watch with suspicion, which soon changes to surprise
>he’s downing it with ease
>Your eyes go wide, Sunburst stares as well, you feel as if his mental calculations are falling apart before him
>Comical really
>Chang cheers for him happily and Cadence seems to be ignoring it
>Probably all that delicious meat
>Anon took bite after bite, followed by a gulp of beer, then repeated
>At least 12 oz of steak
>You can’t even eat THAT much, but soon he was racking up more and more
>Half way through, Changs eyes are wide
>Poor girls drooling
>Sunburst grabs a pen from Anons pocket, and a napkin, he writes some stuff down in equestrian 
>Then passes it to you
>You shrug
“I have no idea what any of this means”
>You poke at the numbers curiously
>Anon takes another bite
>“It means that Anons a fatass”
>Anon chokes back a laugh
>You don’t
>Cadence even giggles some
>Anon drops his fork, over dramatically grabbing the table
>Several eyes are wide
>He lets out a long, hard burp
>Gagging in the process
>He stares down at the steak
>Less than 1 ounce left
>Just a bite to him
>I couldn’t hold back my both amusement and cheering
“LETS GO ANON YOU CAN DO IT”
>>“DON’T BE A PUSSY” Chrysalis  followed
>“WOO” Chang and Sunburst called in unison
>Cadence gave a little clop, cringing as she sees some of the red juices on the plate
>You and chang grab each other with a grin
>Sometimes you DO like your sister
>Sometimes
>He smiles at you then picks up the last chunk
>15 minutes left
>How..
>Oh right the other stuff
>Anon looks at the rest of the meal with a burp
>He takes the shrimp, with the cocktail sauce, roll, and butter, and stuffs it in the baked potato, taking it into his hand he eats it
>Like a disgusting burrito of starch and crustatian  
>He just uses his juice covered fork to scoop the salad all together into his mouth, not even putting anything on it
>The salad looked cheap and not that great
>Technically, he was done, but for some reason, Anon came up with a new idea, something to emphasis he can do more
>The absolute madman
>He grabs the plate and sucks the fat and juices off it
>You gag some as he drinks the grease
>Then finishes his half of the beer
>He grins at everyone watching
>The beer and grease, it becomes obvious, was not required by any means
>He turns to the waiter
>“I’m not done”
>A questioning, but also slightly annoyed look crosses his face
“I want the biggest glass you got full of more of this Ale, and the apple pie”
>You feel something in your stomach cry for the same
>While you brain tries to comprehend that your averagely built friend, barely 175 pounds, just finished that whole thing off and wants more
>Plus a boot of beer
>Well, the boot is understandable, it IS a nice little plastic boot
>He finishes his last two items much slower, and orders their smaller 16 oz steak meal for you and chang
>Nice of him
>You all pile back into the RV after Anon pays, getting his money back from the challenge, only to hand some  back to cashier for the meals
>Anon drives to the very back of the parking lot, out of the sight of any people, and goes back to his bed, flopping down, and needing a rest
>You and chang sit at the table to eat
>well, you do, Chang sits on your bed
“HEY NO EATING ON MY BED”
>You yell, but she keeps eating
>You sigh and shake your head
>Sunburst eats in silence in front of you, a smile on his face
>He passes you the note he wrote out with the numbers
>it has scribbles in it
>“I lost count” He laughs
>You smile at him
“So whats next Anon?”
>You look over to the poor man laying on the bed, his stomach gurgling
>He pushed himself too much just for show
>“Albuquerque”
“Huh?”
>“We’re passing through there next. I need to make a left turn there”
>You didn’t understand, nor question it
>You are sitting in the front seat
>You are on your way out of Texas, heading for.. Wherever it is Anon demands to go
>Albuquerque  you believe was the name
>Of course it only takes a few hours to get there and you see Anon practically bouncing in his seat
>You look at him confused
>He shoots you a huge, gitty grin
>“I’ve been wanting to do this ever since I was 5”
>Wat
“Wat”
>“I need a Carrot we’re getting close”
“Uh, I think we have some in the cooler for me”
>He grins as you pull him out a fairly small Carrot for him
>About the size of a Churchill cigar
“Sooooo WHY do you need a Carrot”
>“You’ll see”
>The two of you drive in complete silence for nearly 20 minutes before Anon heads up I-25
>You look at the map
“We’re leaving whats..”
>Anon holds back a snicker
>He veers right
>You sit in silence watching the map, then back to the road for several minutes
>You check the map confused
“Anon you were suppose to turn le-”
>He pulls over taking the map from you
>And puts the carrot in his mouth, green facing out
>“WELLL LING, EHHHH LOOKS LIKE I SHOULDA MADE THAT LEFT TURN BACK AT ALBAQUERQUE”
>You stare at him
“You didn’t”
>He gives you the biggest grin
>You groan and firmly plant your foot to your face
“Chrystalis damn you”
>“EHHH WHATS UP DOC, YOU FEELIN UPSET?”
“Uuuugh”
>>“I don’t understand”
“All the better my Queen”
>Anon finished off half the carrot and gives the rest to you as a peace offering
>You’ve never seen anyone make such a terrible joke but been so excited for it in your life
>Except maybe Chang
>But that’s only if she’s drunk
>Some things just need to be forgotten 
>You shake your head and lean into the window as Anon drives
>You see the windows in the back pop open then hear a faint scream
>Someone forgot to tighten down anything that could fly away in the wind
>Makes you chuckle to yourself
>Only…
>You peek at the clock
>5 hours left
>You stand on top of the RV
>Hooves firmly planted
>Anon takes it slow, driving his truck and the trailer up the dirt road
>Nearly vertical up the mountain
“How high are we!” 
>You yell just as your ears pop
>Fug
>You sigh and look around
>The air feels.. cleaner.. Here
>Even more so than when you went to the mountains with just Anon
>Your horn feels.. lighter
>A sure sign of magic in the area
>It excites you, makes you feel better, as if more ready for the day than usual
>And no need for a disguise here
>“We’re…uh.. “
>Anon pulls out something and holds it out the window
>“ 10000 feet up. And rising”
>Oh boy
>You hear the noise of a pony puking
>OH BOY
>ITS GONNA BE A FUN TRIP
>You all reach the end of a road and Anon backs out
>He gets the RV turned around, with your help, the trailer is backed up under the trees and leaves his truck facing the road
>from the road angle it pretty much blocks the RV from sight to
>Anon waves you off from the top of the trailer
>“Alright Ling, check on everyone and help me set up”
>You salute and hope down
>You find Cadence gripping the side of the toilet with a groan
>You laugh
“Altitude sickness?”
>“N..no” 
>She groans loudly
>You roll your eyes
“Well unless you and sunburst hav-”
>>“LING ATTENTION”
>You eep and stand at attention
>Then remember she isn’t actually there, just in your head from Equestria
“Yes my queen?”
>>“A near by Changeling says she saw Twilight Sparkle. Keep an eye out. I’ve also heard some rumors of our sisters working in some kind of warehouse. I havnt found any confirmation of this though. They must be on their suppressants”
“I see..”
>>“If you come across these. Well, you know what to do”
>Anon calls your name
“Yes my queen”
>You hop down off the trailer and go to help set up camp for the night
>Anon sits out the M1 Garand and 10 gauge shotgun
>You havnt seen those for a while
“What’re you going to do with those?”
>You sit a few camping chairs up and use your magic to float wood from the near by tree line over
>“Well, shoot em, I suppose. We’re on a hill, so I figured if I set up right I’ll get it to shoot into the side of the mountain”
>Not what you wanted to know
“What are you going to USE them on?”
>“Nothing”
“Nothing?”
>Anon turns to you and nods, holding one of the guns on his shoulder
>“Just shooting in that direction, Might set up some cans or bottles. “
“Oh..”
>You look at him, then nod
>Getting everything set up takes a while, but ti does eventually get done
>You promptly sit down on the ground and roll over\
>Chang and Sunburst walk up to you, sitting on either side
>Cadence looks around, as if sensing something
>You curiously watch
>She tries to cast some kind of spell
>It fizzles out, making her wince
>She moves over towards where Anon is building a fire pit
>“There you are” she whispers
>You blink confused
“What is it?”
>She turns to you
>“Magic. Not a lot, but a definite leak. We’ll be able to send them back here”
>SUnburst and Chang look to her
>She starts grinning
>“Its exactly as it sounds, sending you back to equestria”
>Their eyes go wide, almost in synch
>Chang claps her hooves together
>“Oh boy! That means I get to go home!”
>Several groans of displeasure follow in your head
>You smirk
>Sunburst smiles at you
>“That’s means..I get to see Starlight again.. I hope she’s okay”
>Cadence looks to them understanding “it will take some time”
>Anon turns to them “Its okay, take as long as you need”
>Cadence goes back inside the RV to start working out.. Something
>You, Sunburst and Chang watch as Anon cleans the guns
>Chang gets to setting up a fire
>This makes you nervous
>She piles up a lot of wood
“Uh, Chang, maybe you should..”
>“NO WAY LING I GOT THIS”
>She didn’t even hear what you were going to recommend though
>Doesn’t matter
>Chang piles on the wood and hurries over to Anons pack
>Before you can stop her, she puts a hole in the small bottle of lighter fluid and tosses it into the fire pit
>Oh god
“ANON, CHANG WAI-”
>Poof
>A large plume of fire shoots straight up
>Chang screams and falls back
>You smell burnt hair
>Anon is standing there with wide eyes
>He looks at you
>Then at Chang
>Then to Sunburst
>Who is missing his eye brows
>You start laughing
>Anon starts laughing
>Chang is already laughing
>The fire is crackling, loudly
>Cadence bursts out of the RV
>“WHAT HAPPENED I HEARD A NOISE”
>SHe sees all of you laughing
>And Sunburst
>She slowly backs into the door and closes it
>When the evening rolls around, its still light out, but the sun is going down
>Anon has been trying to convince everyone to shoot, but Only yourself and Chang agree to it
>Not surprised really
>Blam blam!
>You chuckle, holding the shotgun in your magic
>The kick is surprisingly hard to control, but can be done
>Shooting like this gives you a more confident feeling, and is MUCH MUCH better than your…rampage.. From before
>Chang waits her turn, watching you and Anon shoot off the cans from a log
>Anon gets almost every shot!
>Blam!
>You miss
>And blow a hole in a tree
>Again
>Damn
>A few shots later, Anon leans down to chang
>“Now, Chang, there are 4 basic rules to gun safety, okay?”
>She nods looking at the old rifle in his hands
>“First, This gun is LOADED. ALL THE TIME”
>He points in the chamber
>“But, theres nothing in it…” CHangr eplies
>He shakes his head
>“Doesn’t matter. ALWAYS treat it loaded. Rule 2. Don’t point this at anything you don’t wanna blow away”
>She looks at him, then towards the end
>“This thing slings lead at high enough speeds to tear a hole straight through you. Don’t fuck around with it”
>Chang nods some
>“Next, Finger”
>He looks at Changs hooves
>“Er, magic, off the trigger. The trigger is pulled, It goes boom, a misfire means it shoots when you don’t mean it to, in humans, we get itchy fingers and accidentally shoot. Gets people killed”
>Chang nods her head “Anything else”
>Well, I’d say keep control of your weapon, but that’s sort of all of them tied together..”
>Chang nods some
>You’re very nervous
>But.. If anon believes she can handle It..
>He carefully holds the gun out, Chang pulls it up in her magic
>So far so good
>Anon shows her how its loaded while its in her magic
>Then lets her take control again
>She turns and aims down range, Anon stands near her, just out of range of her magical field
>“Deep breath, squeeze the trigger…however you do it”
>You see the magic form on the trigger
>And yank the fuck out of it
>The bullet flies off into somewhere
>Anon chuckles and pats her head
>“That’s okay, Again”
>She fires
>This time, it misses, but you actually see where it goes!
>Good start!
>She fires a few more times ,getting better
>Annnnd..
>PING
>Unf
>dat ping
>Chang gasps jumping back, she swings the gun around in front of her so the side is facing her “Agh did I break it! Sorry!”
>Anon gasps grabbing for the gun
>Too slow, you surround it in your own magical field and point it away from your head
“Not okay Chang”
>You glare
>Chang just smiles sheepishly at you
>Anon snatches the gun away
>“We’re practicing the rest unloaded till we don’t get any more of these mistakes”
“Hardass”
>He glares at you
>You whistle innocently
>For the most part, the next hour or three is nothing but talking back and forth, as well as a little drinking
>Anon didn’t bring much though
>Disappointing really
>You all sit around the camp fire in silence as Cadence stands near by working out something in the grass, marking exact positions, but also seems nervous
>You can understand why however
>Its not every day you send 2 beings through an interdemensional portal
>Eventually, however, everyone is more relaxed
>Chrysalis has started getting some changelings ready
>But, with a pony coming through
>She’s decided to Contact the princesses
>There was,,, obviously.. resistance, but after showing off the other changeling, with the missing tail, and clear signs of having been on Earth
>The two got excited
>Luna and Celestia both wanted to come, but there was just no way
>Its almost night, meaning Luna has court, so she decides its her turn to go
>According to Chrysalis, Celestia told her she was just putting off her duties 
>Luna had stuck her tongue out and left with a small 10 pony regiment of guards
>Arriving at the old castle, of course, Lunas guard were out numbered
>By around 400 or so
>Silly ponies
>The first look at Cadence through a proper portal, Sunburst, the dang crystalling pony! And a well known changeling. Big deal. 
>Given that the changeling isn’t famous for good reasons..
>But still
>You stand back
>Anon stands back behind cover
>Sunburst and Chang get ready
>Cadence drops her belt and cover extending her wings as she focuses the spell on the highest energy area she could find
>She gulps
>You gulp
>Sunburst gulps
>Anon gulps
>Chang gulps the last of her beer then crushes the can
>You see her run to the RV
>Probably getting something she forgot
>Cadence focuses on the spell
>The rift opens
>A spark of green ignites a fire from the other side, which merges with the pink lightening on this side
>The spell forms together to create a green and pink ring, on the other side showing the old Everfree forest
>You stare through it
>On the other side are 5 of Lunas guards being cautious as they peer through
>They gasp out loud “Its her my Princess!” One yells
>Luna rushes over
>She peers through the portal
>You see, for the first time, the pony princess
>One of her wings has a scar down its length
>Her cutie mark has a bullet wound
>She has a bald spot on her once flowing mane
>Only humans could do this kind of irreparable damage
>Luna waves at you “You must be ling”
>You blush and look away
“I am”
>“I am Princess Lu-”
>“CAN WE HURRY IT UP HERE”
>Cadence struggles to hold the portal open
>Chrysalis seems to be having less trouble, but isn’t fairing much better at all
>You gasp
>Chrysalis
>In the flesh
>2 feet away at most
>You want to run through and hug your queen
>But you know you may fuck it all up
>She looks.. Much better than the Princess, as she molted off the damaged chitin when she was injured
>Luna waves sunburst through, who quickly follows orders
>He looks back at You and Cadence and waves happily “I’ll miss you”
>Then winks at Anon
>He shutters and looks away
>Chang beams brightly, standing half way through the portal “See ya sis! By Princess!”
>“GO” Princess Cadence cries out
>She gasps and hops through
>Wait
“HEY CHANG GET BACK HERE WITH MY-”
>You’re cut off
>The portal makes a strange reversal noise then slams shut at high speeds, letting off a sound like thunder as well as bright pink and green flash
>Anon looks at you puzzled
>Cadence collapses to her knees panting
>You rush into the RV
>No
>No
>NONONONONO
>THAT BITCH
“SHE TOOK MY FUCKING HORSE COCK”
>You sit on your camping chair pouting
>Chang is laughing at your reaction
>To be fair, it was a bit over the top
>But that’s YOUR cock
>Not hers
>Especially not hers to give to Chrysalis
>Who hasn’t spoken to you in nearly 3 hours
>The last thing she told you was that everyone made it through, and that she got a new message, it was spotty as if the changeling was being forced onto some kind of magic supressant that wasn’t quite strong enough
>Something about horns, and humans
>You don’t understand it all
>Of course almost immediately after she was given her…present.. By Chang
>Other members of the hive said that she flushes green and went to her room
>With the dildo
>Damn it
>Cadence sits on the ground near the fire, trying to balance a skewer with a marshmallow on it over the fire
>This of course is her third one, the few two on fire in the pit
>You giggle some
>Anon looks over you
>“If you’re THAT upset about it, I COULD make you one out of wood”
“Wood?”
>He nods with a smirk
>You shake your head
“No way, splinters are not okay”
>Anon chuckles and spits some of his vodka, mountain dew mixture into the fire, making Cadence jump back with the small flash of flame
>He grins at her
>Cadence glares and uses her magic to knock back his chair
>All is fair in love and war bitch
>You look up
>Unlike silly ponies, your night vision is excellent
>You see a fire
>Well, just a small dot of a flicker
>But that isn’t what intrigues you
>No, that would be
>A rainbow in the night
>OH SHIT NIGGA
>You quickly try to cover yourself up, but its too late
>your bright green fire of magic would surely draw her in, so instead you stay
>No point in hiding anymore anyway
>When the rainbow maned Pegasus lands, you gulp
>You know this one
>The one who takes pleasure in fighting off changelings
>Cadence sees and gasps out
>“RAINBOW DASH!”
>She eyes her suspiciously for a moment before her eyes grow wide, a slight smile taking her face “WHoa, Cadence! What happened to you! You’re..well Blue!”
>You keep some distance and stay quiet
>Anon seems confused as he slowly bites into his smores
>You watch as the two talk, mostly about the brighter sides of whats been going on
>Cadence glances over a lot, till she points at you
>Oh shiiiiit nooo
>Rainbow Dash turns to face you
>You gulp
>She narrows her eyes, wings flare upward in a defensive stance
>She gets in front of Cadence
>“Are you CRAZY This is a CHANGELING the ones who attacked YOUR weeding AND then tried to attack us after we lost to the humans!”
“Hey!”
>You grunt standing up
>Anon slowly reaches for the gun on his side
“I wasn’t even THERE”
>“And” Cadence looks at her “she helped me out of my bad situation”
>Dash  eyes you suspiciously for a few minutes before lowering her stabce
>“FIne, but if she tries anything”  Dash turns to Cadence
>“She wont”
>You nod in turn
“No plans on it.”
>Anon stands up “ALLLLRIGHT WHO WANTS CHOCOLATE”
>Who DOESN’T want chocolate
>All of you gather around to chat some, and ease the tension between yourself and RD, and share smores
>Fuck yeah, smores
>Eventually, RD gets up and looks to you and Cadence
>“Hey, guys, I’ll be back in 10 seconds flat.”
>You shrug some
>Cadence smiles warmly and nods to her “Of course”
>RD gulps down her snack and flies off
>You look to Cadence who gives a caring smile, and a giggle, in turn 
>After another few moments, above comes the rainbow mane once again
>You stands up, as does Cadence, having a feeling how this is going
>“They said you can come over!” She lands with a loud thud
>you look at Anon accusingly
>He shrugs “I didn’t ask”
>Cadence.
>You sigh and start to get ready to transform, but are informed she has already told on you
>Fuuuuuuuuuck
>Cadence, on the other hand, HAS to be in costume
>No police allowed
>She puts on her little roll and straightens her mane, then piles up into the truck
>you get in the cab as well
>RD gets in the bed to help direct you all
>Its not even a long drive, just awkward
>15 minutes into it Anon pulls up to a small camp sight containing two humans and a grey pony
>The grey pony looks
>Stone cold
>You would laugh at your own pun if it wasn’t so bad
>Anon sees the look the other Anon is giving him and narrows his eyes
>“They’re talking shit on Burnace”
“Who?”
>He slaps the trucks old metal interior
>Oh
>The truck
>Everyone piles out one by one and RD goes over to help introduce
>The first of the humans holds out his hand to your Anon
>“Hey, nice to meet you!  Welcome to our little camp here.  I'm told Rainbow Dash is buddies with your unicorn there.  Name's Anon.”
>Oh shit
>Two Anons, as if this couldn’t get any more awkward
>Your Anon gives a shake
>A bit harder looking
>Trying to outman the other perhaps?
>You taste all sorts of mixed feelings to the point it freaks you out almost
>Too many flavors in one
>“Howdy” Your Anon smiles "I too, am Anon.  This here is Sea Breeze and Ling."
>Upon hearing her name, Cadence bows her head
>You just give a meek wave and a toothy smile, showing off your fangs
>Er, what there is of them
>You ignore almost everything he says till you hear the magic word
>Sausage
>You perk your ears up and look at him
>Is that a smirk?
>Oh and beer
>Beer is good to
>You all gather the glorious alcohol
>Cadence takes a seat across from the second human, while you sit next to Anon, who is across from the other Anon
>Cadence gulps, you can tell she’d ruffle her feathers and look away if she could under that outfit of hers
>You see the other Anon looking you other and look away as well
>“So, this is Ling” Anon says gesturing you to
>You look at him, then smile at the Anon
“Hello” You nod
>“And this is Sea Breeze” He motions to Cadence
>Cadence smiles meekly and gulps as Incog eyes her down
>“So, you are one of the Pinkie Pie's sisters, hmm?"
>She turns to Maud to change the subject
>"Yes.  Maud Pie.  Good to meet you...  Sea Breeze."
>"Yes...  Sea Breeze."
>Her eyes dart about slightly as she takes a sip from her glass of beer.
>The Anon examines Cadence for a while before speaking up :So, ya'll enjoying the nice late summer weather up here in the La Sals?”
>Cadence turns to him and nods "Yes, quite.  It's also good to see another pony I know, and a sister of a pony I know."
>You decide, ultimately, to speak to the ponies and end the awkwardness
>You, Cadence, Dash, and Maud all begin speaking about your adventures
>it’s a pleasant experience you quite enjoy
(For more details on the adventures of these ponies please read RockMonlgers story here: http://pastebin.com/v2j02fq3 http://pastebin.com/Fzp7Tpnd )
>The following few minutes is a chorus of ‘hmmm, mmmhmm.. And yep’
>yep
>The other Anon speaks up
“So, what do you do, Anon? “
>“IT”
“Yeah, thats a good line a' work.  I work for the USGS.  I look at rocks.”
>>“Rocks are neat” A tired sounding Chrysalis says in your brain
>You are about to speak up when you notice Incog looking nervous
>Oh shit nigga
>He knows
>Oh fuck
>He’s gonna get the cops
>FUUUUU
"I uhhh... do stuff.  Internet stuff.  Yeah."
>You groan and stand up
>>“Kill him if you need to”
>God damn it mom I can’t do that
"You know who she is, don't you."
>Incog's eyes dart back and forth.
>He then sighs.
>"I guess I can't hide it from someone who can feel and taste emotions.  Yes, I know that pony."
>Cadence and Anon suddenly look really nervous.
>"But, I won't tell anyone.  You seem to be putting a lot of effort into being...  Incognito."
>You stifle a giggle, trying to keep your imitating buggness at full power
>"I guess... It'll let me be more comfortable of I don't have to wear this..."
>Cadence takes off a large pink piece of fuzzy cloth that was covering her midriff.
>And beneath it shows her pair of large pegasus wings.
>The Anon seems confused
>Incog speaks.
>"Thats Princess Cadence, soverign of the Crystal Empire.  One of the Alicorn Princesses of Equestria."
>Incog bows
>"It is a pleasure to meet you."
>A pang of sadness smacks you like a 2x4 to the skull from Cadence
>Fucking human doesn’t realize what he just did
>The Anon speaks up “Huh...  I guess that explains the unicorn and pegasus thing going on at the same time.  Well, nice to meet you then, Cadence.”
>Your Anon speaks up.
>"So, thats it?"
>Other Anon turns to him “What?  I figure you were being secretive not wanting to bring attention to such a... unique pony while you are on vacation or something.”
>"Yeah.  Sure, that works."
>Maud then questions Cadence.
>"So, that big flash earlier, was that something you did?"
>"Yes...  I was practicing a spell."
>Anon looks like he wants to chuckle “Musta been a hell of a spell to make such a big flash that was visible from down here while the sun was still sorta up.”
>He takes a deep swig of his beer.
>Cadence looks at him nervously  "I suppose you could say that."
>He looks at your group for a moment then speaks up “So, ya'll paid a visit to any of the big parks down below here near town?”
>Your turn to talk!
“We stopped a little bit along the roads coming here to look at some of the sights!"
>>“And look for ponies” Chrysalis adds
>….shhh
"But, we couldn't get out and look too much.  We needed to find a place to camp."
>He looks to you “You seem awfully excited, Ling.”
"The canyons and stuff around here kinda remind me of...  home."
>Cadence speaks. "Yeah, there is quite a bit of similarity between the Equestrian Badlands and some of the stuff we drove through today...  It does have a beauty all it's own."
>"I quite like it.  Make's it easier to look at the rocks."
>Other Anon speaks up following his pony “I agree, Maud...  Sure as hell beats trying to figure out the geology on the east coast...  Too many god damn plants and too much fuckin' soil.”
>Anon speaks. "I do think we all want to go pay a visit to at least a few of the parks near here, though."
>“Yeah, they are good parks.  Lots of places to go offroading 'round here as well.  Though I'd be careful with your vehicle on some of the more intense shit. Ya kinda need a well equipped jeep for the best stuff...  Can't have too long of a wheel base.  Or too heavy a chasis.”
>You have no idea what this other Anon is talking about now
>Anon puts on a proud smirk defending his baby "My truck can handle itself pretty well, man."
>“Whatever.  Just don't get stuck if you do go off into the desert.  Think of it as a fair warning that some of the shit out here is crazy for offloading.”
>Maud waxes lyrical about the San Rafael project, and her own smaller projects at home.
>Rainbow Dash talks about her retail work experiences.
>You  and Cadence talk about traveling across the US, visiting all kinds of interesting places, though avoid any discussion regarding your other plans
>You also explain to him about the changeling lifestyle
>Even the hive mind
>They don’t seem to care a lot
>Other than Incog
>That guy freaks you out
>Other Anon gets up and fiddles with the food
>AW SHIT NIGGA FOOD TIME
>“Alright folks, dinner is almost ready.  If'n ya don't want the sausage, you can get your rice and gumbo now.”
>Sausage?
>This guy is based
>Maud, Rainbow Dash, and Cadence all get up, and serve themselves rice and gumbo.
>Looking to his friend, the other Anon speaks up “What would you think about going rafting tomorrow?  I'm a certified guide, so all we'd need to do is rent equipment and maybe a van to drop us off up stream.’
>Certified what
>"I dunno, I've never gone rafting before." Incog replies
>“Eh, the stretch of the Colorado above Moab is pretty easy going.  I could run a 6 person raft solo if I had to.  You'd most be along for the ride.”
>"How much would it cost?"
>You watch as the other Anon pauses
>“Probably $20 for you to rent a life vest and helmet for the day...  Not entirely sure how much pony fitted rafting equipment runs to rent, however. Not sure if you'd need something special for Rainbow, considering she is a pegasus.  Spaces for wings, n'at.”
>You are suddenly thankful for the ability to hide your wings under the sectioned area of your shell
>Incog nods back to him and thinks for a moment.
>"I've never been...  Sounds like it could be fun."
> “Shit man...  You live next to a pretty popular place to go rafting. Put in up in Dotsero, and ride through Gleenwood Canyon, and end up right in downtown Gleenwood Springs. Maybe go a little further if you are more adventurous.”
>You have no idea where any of these places are
>Rainbow quickly pipes up "Aww man, that sounds awesome!  I've seen the rafts and littler boats go down the river behind the Kum & Go.  I've always wanted to try!"
>The other Anon seems amused by something “Heh... If you enjoyed the rafting enough, Rainbow, You could go all the way from right behind where you work, to Moab by raft. Probably take a few days, but would probably be pretty easy going, and fun.”
>You nudge your Anon looking up at him “Rafting, you say?  Can we be come along?"
>The other Anon pauses  “Getting an 8 person raft wouldn't be too much work, and you could still handle it putting in upstream from Moab and heading back to town. Yeah, if ya'll want.  I could get an 8 person raft. Could take my truck up to Dewey Bridge, and put in there.   Leave your truck down in Moab by the river and when we are done, you could drive us back to my truck while everyone else putzes around by the river.”
>This man talks, a lot
>"Yeah, that could work." You Anon nods 
>Incog looks over to the two Anons "Maybe I could go fishing while we wait.  Would be fun!"
> The other Anon puts on a look that you describe as.. Knowledgeable “You could try, but you ain't gonna catch anything in the Colorado near Moab. Too much uranium.”
>Incog gulps.
>Maud interjects. "Is it from all the mining in the area?"
>“Somewhat.  A lot of it is from the river cutting through the uranium bearing rocks.  The rest is attributed to the old uranium mine near the river there. We'd be stopping upstream of the old mine and its tailings pile though.  Shit's kind of a mess.”
>Incog looks slightly less nervous after finding that out.
>“Though, if you are ever here without me, I wouldn't go playing around on that big sand dune across from the Arches entrance.” He gives a sip on his beer as if emphasizing “Shit's right upwind from the superfund site.  It's pretty damn hot.”
>Rainbow Dash speaks up. "Hot?"
>“Radioactive.  Dust from the mine getting in with the sand.  Try though they might, they couldn't stop it all while they were shipping it up the railroad for disposal.”
>"...  Radioactive?"
>The other Anon seems distraught
>You understand radioactivity
>Ground zero, as they said on the was ‘radioactive with some kind of other word element’
>Maud steps in to explain. "Its like...  bad magical energy that can make you really sick if you hang around it too much."
>Other anon continues “Yeah, something like that.  Uranium, something that gives it off, is all over the place in this part of the Colrado Plateau.”
>Soon enough, the meat is ready.
>“Aight ya'll, get yer gumbo, get yer rice, and get yer sausage, dinner is served for the rest of us.”
>You hop up and gather a bit of everything
>More so than the others
>You aren’t a pig
>Just depression eating
>Because of lost memories
>And Dildos
>After everyone eats, and the dishes get done, everyone settles around the campfire, and a glorious evening of hanging out occurs.
>You all share further stories of times and places
>Eventually, however, things move towards…your mission
>Shit.
>Anon gives really basic details without revealing anything
>You look at Anon and lean up whispering to him
“Go on and tell him..I think he’s safe. If he isn’t. Chrysalis will tell me what to do”
>"We are working, to try to take abused ponies away from their situations..."
>Chrysalis pop up finally 
>>“Tell them what I told you”
>Ugh
>"Also, looking into research on humans trying to figure out magic with unicorn horns."
>Seeing the Anon pause makes you nervous 
>“I have a buddy who was hired out at some secret lab.  Couldn't tell me where it was. Said he was doing work with X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopes looking at some pony related materials, he said.”
>wut
>You Anon looks at him "...  Hear anything else?"
>“Can't say that I have.  I do think he had a flight out to Las Vegas to get picked up for the job, though.”
>You and Anon look at eachother
>“Sorry I can't help you more. I am at least pushing on getting ponies more recognized in academia and research circles.   Maud here is the first pony, far as I can tell, to have their name published in a scientific journal.“
>he crosses his hands as if looking to show her off
“She helped with a big project of mine, and I was able to talk my boss into having her name published. A 1;12000 Scale Map of the San Rafael Swell.  A. Ymous and M. Pie".”
>wut
>Maud pops up looking at him with
>Well
>No real over the top emotions actually "I still don't know if I quite get the big deal over the name on the paper."
>“I'm telling you, Maud.  It's a big deal.  It means that you are recognized as a legitimate scientist having your name on a paper. And you more than deserve it, with all the help you gave me on that project.  And your name will be on my next project too.  “
>>“Whoa..that’s a HIGH honor in equestria” Chrysalis adds
>You sit in quiet watching the group
>Siiiiiip
>Yup
>The night continues, conversations pop up, and so on
>Eventually Anon holds his hand up "Yeah, I think it's time to head back to our camp.  I'll call your tomorrow, and coordinate for that nice rafting trip." He sighs and looks at you “Lord knows we could use a nice distraction like that."
>Whats that suppose to mean?
>Everyone gives their goodbyes as you all pile up
>Your Anon is a bit drunk
>fuck
>The ride back is slow, as your Anon avoids hitting a tree
>He ends up pulling a bit far away from the Rv
>You have to remember the E-brake
>You all pass out in the RV
>Except yourself, you stay outside, it’s a comfy kind of feel
>Morning comes around, you feel fine
>You hurry inside and jump onto the bed, making Anon groan out
>You jump some grinning down at him
“ANON WAKE UP”
>He groans and covered his head with his pillow
>Cadence groans as well
>You huff and start rolling up all the windows
>Grooooooans
“ANON DAMN IT ANON INVITED US TO RAFT”
>Uuuuuuugh
>You sigh and go outside
>You start bouncing on top of the RV to shake it
>“FINE I’LL TEXT HIM”
>You beam happily
>And wait
>Then start to pack up all the stuff you need to
>Water, cloths for Anon, and so forth
>Upon the expected response, Anon and Cadence start gathering important hings
>Mostly coffee
>extra cloths, water proof bag
>Well, that’s just Anons normal backpack
>He called it military surplus
>The camo is blocky and digital looking
>Shit for camo, but that’s just your opinion
>Cadence just has him bring a bit of extra water for herself
>You strap on your camelpack
>Dry food for maximum noms
>And an MRE for further noms, military surplus stuff he says
>Best food for a growing pony he says
>You have yet to try this
>When all is said and done you all load up in the truck and head towards the meeting spot
>Reaching the store doesn’t take long at all, especially with everyone sipping coffee and staring at the road side environment
>Suddenly your ears perk up realizing something
>You need to hide your form because you’re going into a crowded town!
“Anon do I need to hide?”
>He looks over at you with a glare of one thousand celestias
“Uh..”
>“Do whatever you want. I havnt finished”
>He takes a bite of a sausage rolled in a pancake to emphasize what he means
>Oh
>Yoou shrug and stand in the seat, extending your wings fully
>He looks back to the road
>You roll down the window
>And jump
>He gasps out grabbing for you but missing
>“LING WHAT THE FUCK”
>You catch the air on your wings with ease, the loud bee like buzzing following beside the car
“SLOW DOWN I CAN’T KEEP UP”
>“LING!”
>He starts to slow
>You easily catch up and land with a thump into the bed
“Well I can’t change in the car! It’ll burn your cushions!”
>He doesn’t respond as you transform into the tall, white, beautiful unicorn
>Your new mane promptly goes right back into your face and makes you sputter and cough on it
>“What the FUCK was that for?”
>Anon glances back at you
>Cadence is sleeping
“What?”
>“You couldn’t wait! Or as me to pull over?!”
>You shrug
>He sighs and goes back to driving while you chill in the back
>Cadence wakes up just in tome for you all to pull up next to a store, the meeting place, and head inside
>She stretches with her hooves in front of her and rear upward
>Wew lad
>Seeing the other Anon, you instinctively wave
>He seems confused
>0 fucks given
>The store is entered however and your expression changes
>AWWWW SHIT BUGGA
>You start walking around looking at EVERYTHING
>Wait
>No way
>You run over to a rack
>There are human shirts in various sizes next to two sizes of pony shirts
>Aw yis
>Grabbing one of the shirts and another in what you assume is Anons size, you run back over to him
>The Cashier looks at you curiously as you float them along
>You grin up at Anon
>He looks at you, then the shirts
>“No”
“AWWWW COME ON”
>You sit down looking up at him, shirts floating in front of you both
>“No”
“Pleeeeeease”
>They ARE pretty corny, just Moab shirts
>But they MATCH and they’re built for ponies!
>You try putting on the tears
>You pout your lip
>He sighs and shakes his head
>“Fine”
>You gasp
“Yay! Thank you!”
>The Cashier looks at you both oddly
>Anon sit’s the various things on the counter as well as the shirts
>After paying you grab yours and his, floating them onto yourself and him
>Anon looks annoyed as he reunited with the other humans
>You’re grinning
>The other anon smirks at you and Anon as he speaks up “So, ya'll ready?  “
>You all nod
>“Alright.  So, from here, we will need to head over to an outfitters.  Ya'll will need to rent equipment.  Life vests at the very least, preferrably helmets.  This is a tame stretch of river, but still.”
>You sigh a little at the life vest, knowing the human ones are uncomfortable on a pony
>Oh well
>He continues “I'll cover the rental for the actual raft, and I am a certified guide, so this'll be a fairly cheap raft trip.”
>Incog speaks up.
>"Thank's anon, we appreciate it."
>Anon nods in affirmative.
>“Like I was discussing...  Anon, you are gonna have to leave your truck at at the Colrado River here in Moab. We can all stuff into my truck to drive upstream and put in the river.   Then, when we are done, us Anon's can take a trip back upstream in his truck to grab my truck.”
>He has his hands up awkwardly “Voiala.  No need to get a service to drop us off upstream, and we can enjoy a nice trip down the Colorado.”
>Maud speaks up.
>"What are we gonna do when we are done?"
>He pauses looking over you all “Whelp, we can always pay a visit to the brewery for some food, and to refill our now empty growlers... And eventually we'll have to get back to camp.”
>Cadence speaks up. "What exactly is at the brewery?"
>Maud responds. "They make beer there, and its a restaurant.  The stuff we drank last night from the jugs was made there."
>"Mmm...  That libation was quite pleasant."
>You look at Cadence, her regal speak felt weird and tasted strange
>You  jump in, feeling playful with your new found connection to Anons attire "Mmm, more of the same from last night?  Sweet!"
>“Well then, at the very least we can refill the beer.  There's other good places to eat. We could also get some fresh stuff to cook back at camp here in town as well.  Up to ya'll.”
>Incog adds in.
>"We have all afternoon to decide."
>Maud agrees. "Indeed.  We have many options."
“Alright then.  Anon, Ya'll follow me over to the outfitters, and we can get all our rental stuff together.”
>You, Anon, and Cadence all pile back up into the truck
>You sit firmly against Anon









>it’s a fairly quick drive
>Before you is a large garage, surrounded by vans with roof racks, large rubber rafts, bicycles, and other various outdoor equipment.
>The other Anon waves to the new human in a friendly manner “Ay, Jim my man.”
>The fellow working the desk looks up, and smiles. "Sup, Anon, how's it going?  What brings you into town?"
>He gives him a slightly coy smile “Oh, just a little vacation while the weather is still pleasant.  Looking to rent an 8 man raft.”
>Jim nods "What are you planning?"
>The two quickly go back and forth, you just kind of sit back listening with your crew
>“Eh, gonna take a few folks and ponies down the Colorado.  
Put in up near Dewey Bridge or Hittle Bottom, and have a nice relaxing trip down the river.”
>"Sounds good, bro.  You gonna need equipment too, I assume?"
>“Yeah, gonna need three sets of gear for humans, and four pony fitted sets.”
>"Huh...  Didn't see you as one to be dealing with the ponies so much."
>The other Anon puts on a thinking look upon his face, you taste some kind of emotion along the lines of surprise “Yeah, I hadn't planned much on it, but I got a pony who works as my field work partner.”
>"That's cool mang, I don't judge."
>You enter looking around, only to hear the other Anon
>“Here comes all the folks who are gonna be rafting with me.”
>You smile brightly and wave your hoof, swishing your mane from your eyes
>"Cool dude.  Shouldn't be too hard.  The only pony life vests we have for rent are like, one size fits all bro."
>Hearing this doesn‘t surprise you, seeing the bright orange saddles are also expected 
>Thank goodness you can hide your wings under your carapace 
“Yeah, that makes it easy enough.  What about helmets?”
>"Sorry, no pony helmets.  Got all the human fitted ones, dude."
>Well, shit 
>The other Anon doesn’t seem too happy about it either “I guess that'll work.  I want a good type III vest for me atleast.  Everyone else...  Incog, and Anon here, can choose for themselves.”
>"Heyyy, another Anon in the world.  Neat.  I'm Jim, what kinda vest do you want today?  The type II's are cheaper to rent, but the type III's are waaay more comfortable."
>As expected, your Anon waves his hand and smiles "Yeah...  Gonna go with the cheap one."
>"Alright bro, that one's safer anyway.  How about you, Incog, was it?"
>"Yeah, gonna also go with the cheap one as well."
>Jim nods, as he goes to grab four pony vests, two of the cheaper, but safer life vests, and a nice comfortable one for you.
>Your Anon looks at the wall of helmets, then turns to the other Anon "So, how about helmets?"
>“Well...  Since this stretch ain't too bad, and we don't got 'em for the ponies...  Fuck it, vests only today, I guess.”
>"Yeah, bro.  Nothing above class II.  Easy peasy, man."
>Class 2? Wat
>The other Anon picks up one of the vests looking at it, he seems, possibly concerned. Which is good. “So uh...  the pony life vests.  Just kinda strap on?”
>"Yeah, pretty simple.  Keeps the pony floating even in rough water, with their head held upwards."
>Soon, everyone gets their vest, The other Anon loads everything up
>“So, Anon, your truck is gonna be left at the bottom of the trip, we all stuff into mine, and ride up to the top.”
>Your Anon nods “I guess that works."
>“I'll lead you to where we can get out of the river, then we can all jump over to this truck.”
>Annnnn everyones back into the trucks and on the road
>It takes your group to the far north side of Moab, and across the Colorado River.
>Just across the highway bridge,  Anon takes a  turn to the right, and down a nicely paved road, with a broad pedestrian path running alongside.
>After passing the pedestrian bridge across the Colorado, you all  come upon a large, muddy area with a ramp coming up from the river.
>Oh boy
>Mud
>Sarcasm intensifies 
>You pull up, and pick a spot along the nearby cliff wall to park, and the other Anon pulls his truck up next to yours.
>Your body is so ready
>Almost in sync the two Anons get out and stretch
>The other Anon speaks up “Right, time to figure out how we ride up the river to where we put in.  You're allowed to ride in the bed of the truck here in Utah.  So, who wants where?”
>Incog speaks first. "Shotgun!"
>Other Anon replies swiftly “Alright then, you're up front.”
>Of course Cadence follows up quickly "I think I'd rather be in the cab."
>Then, yourself "Oooh, bed of the truck!  That sounds different.  Me and Anon want to ride in the back, right Anon?"
>Anon feels like he’s going to say something cheeky, of course you are not surprised “Whatever you want, bugbutt."
>Naturally
>Rainbow Dash follows. "Yeah, I think the back sounds pretty awesome."
>The other Anon turns to his pony  “Aright then, Maud, you gonna ride in the cab then, I take it?”
>"I guess so.  It's what I'm used to." She replies
>Everyone piles into the other truck, and once everyone is in place, he starts up, heading across some river you didn’t catch the name of
>Er, you thought he planned to cross it, driving parelell to the river, which also runs fown a high sided canyon, leads you to be slightly uncomfortable, yes the area reminds you much of the badlands and you like that
>The other Anon speaks up before anything can get boring however “Alright, everyone, spoiler alert.  To the left of us is the stretch of river we are gonna be going down.”
>Cadence peers over the edge, you and Anon also take a peek out of the bed of the truck
>Anon looks like he’s going to be sick
>Its not even THAT high up!
>Maybe he gets carsick?
>“Like I said before, it's gonna mostly be a pretty easy ride down the river.  None of the rapids are terribly harsh.” Other Anon continues to drive up the river “Oh yeah...  Generally, the only places you are gonna find the rapids is where another stream enters into the main river. All those extra boulders and shit getting dumped in is what makes the water rough.”
>You didn’t catch ANY of that
>Incog speaks. "Neat."
>Everyone else continues to look out the window at the barren red canyon.
>Mostly because, well, Rainbow Dash talks a lot. Weird considering she is rumored to be very VERY hateful towards changelings. 
>“So, uhh, having fun traveling around, Cadence?”
"It's WAY  better than what I had been doing before, and I feel like I'm doing good in the world now with Anon."
>You pause thinking over your past.. adventure, and you havn’t helped a lot, but the ponies and Sisters you have helped makes you feel good. And the occasional outbursts from Anon are fun
"Even if he is a bit strange."
> Maud and Cadence begin a little more small talk.
>You can’t help but not care too much, you’re too busy focusing on Rainbow Dash’s emotions to make sure you don’t fuck up too much
>Of course the hive generally seems to agree you’re just over reacting and she isn’t a thread
>Half an hour later
>wow you made it alive! 
>Before you is a gravel road and a large but mostly empty parking lot
>The other Anon seems to be thinking about something
>You hop out with a flutter of your wings, follow by RD and Anon
>Before you even make it out however there is one other note said by the Anon 
>“Alright, ya'll.  Let's get out, and get ready for a day of fun in the sun, on the river.”
>Kay
>Let the fun begin
>You, as well as everyone else, jump from the truck and begin unloading
>good, equipment, food, the raft, and that other stuff that the Anon says you need
>Also the food
>Not that you need it but
>Humans know how to eat
>You stand next to Rainbow Dash, slightly uncomfortable, however she is almost infectious with this excitement and high energy
>You’re warming up to her
>You say with Anon, Maud, Dash, Incog and Cadence as Mauds Anon moves his truck
>Maud speaks up. "I think everyone is ready to go, Anon."
>Cadence decides to speak as well. "Yeah, all our stuff is in the raft, everyone has their life vest."
>At this point, you’re getting pretty hype to go. The water is.. unfamiliar and you’re starting to question that. But fun is to be had!
>Other Anon chimes in just as you slide on the vest “ 'Kay then.  Lets get the raft pushed a little more into the water.”
>You all give a slight push
>Except your Anon, he is watching like an asshole
>Such is life
>“Aight, ya'll get in, and I'll do the last shove.  Then we can get going.”
>you nod and turn to the other ponies, you all hop in at the same time
>Anon shoves the raft in with surprising strength, but in the process soaks himself
>You promptly giggle at this
>You watch the paddle as the Anon uses it to push the raft into position
>You feel slightly more apprehensive as you see the bottom of the river getting further away the deeper it gets 
>Still excited though
“Alright lets get going!” You speak up, Keeping yoru hooves firmly against the bottom of the boat
>Cadence looks down at the water and you notice something the others seem to have been struggling with for a while
>Its kind of hot
Well, not so much for you, but still
>Rainbow Dash speaks up. "Can we get out of the boat?  This river looks pretty awesome."
>The Anon gives a small wave at her “If you want, you can get out and swim near the raft if ya'll want to.  I'll let you know before we get to anything rough, and you'll want to get back on the raft.”
>Naturally Dash takes this as a moment to show off, flaring her wings and jumping off the side of the boat "Cannonball!"
>You cover your face as the splash hits you, breaking on your horn and creating a little rainbow
>Neat
>Maud stands up, looking over the edge of the raft before jumping in herself.
>Her jump is significantly less exciting and, to say the least, the splash was even less impressive
>How did she do that
>It seems much warmer here than the mountains, for you, you’ve been comfortable this whole time though
>Cadence takes a moment to peer over the edge, you sense that she is apprehensive as well, obviously for a different reason
>chilly water
>Incog is just laying down, hands behind his head, relaxing as the boat gently rocks.
>Anon motions to see if you want to go in
>Glancing at him, then to the water, you debate your options here
>Everyone seems to be having fun, but the water is very murky and you can’t see shit
 >Noooooope
“Oh, I dunno…
 >Anon looks back at you, while keeping an eye on those in the water
>“Whys that Ling?”
>You sigh and look away from the edge
“I well,  I just..”
>It takes a moment to gather your thoughts
“In equestria, the waters are simple, we have normal fish and all that, the deadly stuff is kept to specific areas. I knew where to swim”
>Anon nods and looks down into the murky waters below
>“well I don’t think theres anything in here. I’m pretty good with that kind of stuff”
“But you humans keep introducing all kinds of crazy stuff into the wrong places. There could be a giant catfish waiting to gobble me up”
>You throw your hooves up for a proper display of your feelings
>Anon just chuckles
>“I doubt theres anything”
“And if there is?”
>“Fish are afraid of movment in the water”
“EXCEPT SHARKS!”
>“Sharks live in the ocean”
>You huff and cross your hooves
>you lean onto the edge of the raft
“I’m not going in”
>Anon shrugs and turns back to the front 
>“Well if that’s what you want, okay”
>The other Anon is watching the area around you, your own Anon watching the ponies in the water
>You take in the scenery instead
>The clouds are very big on this planet
>and the mountains around you are vibrant as can be
>Ahead, you see a what you believe are the rapids
>the one back home look different, almost cartoony in comparison
>The new Anon friend speaks up “Alright, everyone.  Time to get back into the raft.  We got some rapids coming up.”
>You taste disappointment
>You expect nothing less, especially as Rainbow Dash speaks up
>"Aww, Anon do we have to?"
>“Yeah, Rainbow.  The water gets more shallow, and there's gonna be boulders  you wont easily be able to see.  Don't want no one to get hurt out here.”
>The ponies all scramble up onto the raft, a few mumbles and groans
>You watch as the Anon puts his helmet on, you fumble with yours, unlike the other unicorns, as a changeling, you have a curved horn
>You point your horn at the hole and give a good shove
>You feel your horn pushing on the barrier
>FUCK
“ANON IT WONT FIT”
>Cadence waves her hoof dismissively as she easily slides her horn into said horn hole, then glances towards Anon
>“pfft, that’s what he said. No, Seriously, you should see him at full mast”
>You stare, Anon gulps and looks away not wanting to be involved
>You can TASTE the smugness from the pink bitch!
“WAIT YOU”VE SEEN HIM NAKED?”
>“And hard” Cadence retorts
>You gasp out and give the hardest glare you can
>Anon rolls his eyes but grins, Cadence gives a big grin, the boat grins
>“what, why’re you all grinning”
>You huff and look at the helmet
>Maud helps you by facing it the correct way and helping slide it onto your head
“Oh, wrong hole”
>She keeps her normal facial expression as she gives a friendly slap on the top of the helmet
>Interestingly enough she is laughing
>Internally that is
>Your head feels funny
>probably nothing
>The other Anon interrupts the grins and slapping “Alright, everyone.  Grab your oars and try to split yourselves evenly between the sides so we can have better control over the boat.”
>Everyone moves around into their positions
>On the left side, the other Anon, Cadence, and yourself.
>On the right, Incog, Maud, and Rainbow Dash.
>Oh yeah incogs here, he’s pretty quiet
>You like him
>“Alright.  When call out 'odd', Anon, Cadence and Ling row harder.  When I call 'even' Incog, Maud, and Rainbow, you row harder.”
>Cadence pipes up with a question. "What all are you going to do back there, Anon?"
>The Anon seems rather happy to answer “Good question, since all of ya'll are kinda new to this.  I'm gonna use my oar to steer the boat like a rudder, and also switch between sides to help us when necessary, Any other questions before we hit this first set of rapids?”
>Maud speaks up next "How much control are we going to really need for these rapids?"
>“Honestly, not too much.  Shouldn't be anything day ruining to hit while we are all in the raft.” he chuckles immediately afterwards “We could easily just let the raft roll through it with me ruddering, but hey.  We gotta have the proper experience for ya'll.”
>You feel shifting under you
>IT BEGINS
>CLENCH YOUR ANUS
>its not that rough but it spooked you!
>Anon and Cadence laugh at the first bump as you give a light nervous laugh
>Oh look more people
>You decide to ask a silly question seeing others just now getting into the water near by 
"Was that it?  Just a little bit of shaking?"
> “Nah, that was just a warm  up.” Anon replies
>lovely
>He points forward downstream, you see a bit more stuff
>“Up there is the first more proper rapids.  So, once we pass those, we'll have more swimming and chilling time.”
>Oh, cool
>everybody does their little bits of talk, you relax a little more
>A few more boats have joined in the drifting down the river, though none are too  close.
>no ponies..that’s..depressing that they couldn’t even let their slaves have any fun
>in font of you, more rapids approach, this time you’re ready and less spooked
>“Alright, hang onto your butts.  Here it comes, everyone.”
>OH GOD YOU HAVE NO HANDS HOW CAN YOU GRAB A BUTT
>Its tempting to ask anon to help
>Too late, the water starts shaking the raft pretty hard, below you, you see white rapids are considered white waters
>kinda pretty if it wasn’t terrifying 
>Rainbow Dash lets out a whoop of joy. "This is more like it!"
>You expect nothing else from the Pegasus 
>Incog, looking a little more worried, speaks up. "Having fun, huh Dash?"
>"Just imagine how much fun those ones behind the Kum & Go are!  They are much bigger than this!"
>heh, kum & go
>Maud is Maud, but you can tell shes having fun. That’s always nice
>Cadence is grinning madly but fairly quiet
>A little water is on her mane, making the paint run
>lovely
>in contrast, your butt hole is firmly clenched
>Anon looks like he’s about to begin laughing and hug you up
>Everythings, for the most part, lots of fun! You‘re nervous but that’s okay. While others swim you dip your hooves into the water and everything
>This is a good day indeed
>You even get a hug from Anon. A snack if you will.
>You see as the area narrows and the other Anon seems to be scheming again
>Theres a pretty nice sandbar across from some kind of really swanky looking building
>“Alright folks, lets get back into the boat real quick, so we can push over to that sand bar over there.  It's lunch time!”
>AWWW YIS FOOD TIME
>Hugs from Anon and some really dank ass sandwiches
